I'm just excited to potentially see the end of Uribe. Ramirez' .246 BA is a 56 point improvement over the tub of goo. Ramirez' 2012 .322 OBP and .428 SLG trail his .374 and .499 career numbers, but given Eovaldi was a hard-luck 1-6 this year (4.15 ERA) and 208 career (3.96 ERA), it just may be the boost we need at the corners.

At the other corner tonight, James Loney went 2-for-4 with 1 GIDP. He's sitting at a .252 average, .333 slugging. Sigh.

wowI have not been a fan of Hanley in the past and was about to type something negative, but being positive and hopeful is the best tack to take here. I hope a new environment and new coaching/managing will get him hitting and playing better, up to his abilities

All the sports talk radio is heralding this move, less so for Hanley and more so for the fact that the Dodgers are playing like a major market again. I agree, it's a great signal for Dodger fans! Now let's hope Hanley gets rejuvenated by being on a contender. Without gaudy animatronic statues in center field.

The attitude is the elephant in the room, too be sure. I'm willing to forgive a lot if he hits like he can, rather than how he has, but we have to face at least the possibility that he might "Andruw Jones".
